Where to stay, where to eat, what to do: Bali for every budget

Where to stay: In Ubud, try Artja Inn (00 62 361-974425, doubles from just £3). Rooms are clean and set behind a temple in a lovely tropical garden with a stream. For the beach, head to Sanur: Yulia (288089, doubles £4.50) is a five-minute walk from the sand. The best rooms are those towards the back, overlooking an aviary.

Where to eat: Easy: on the street. Along most roads in towns are hawkers selling bakso, a filling chicken soup. It’s hardly haute cuisine but it’s tasty enough and, at 30p a portion, who’s complaining? From there, just follow your nose to other busy street stalls

What to do: Go snorkelling: the best on Bali is off Menjangan Island in the northwest. Go up to Labuhan Lalang and charter a boat (£18 for up to 10 people). Hire of snorkelling kit is £2pp.
